Western Cranston neighborhoods sit in pockets of peace and quiet.
Quiet neighborhood south of Providence
Located just west of the Providence Beltway that serves as an unofficial border between the suburban and urban portions of Cranston, Western Cranston is less accessible and more insular than the town’s eastern region. There are no public transit stops and few sidewalks, so folks depend on cars to get around. Western Cranston includes a mix of new construction and homes built in the 60s and 70s. The eastern end of Western Cranston, closer to the Providence Beltway, features standard suburban developments: half-acre lots, well-kept lawns, and large colonial homes. Toward the west, however, lots get bigger, driveways longer and the overall neighborhood feeling becomes more private and less connected.
Mixture of new construction and planned developments
Western Cranston includes a mix of new construction and homes built in the 60s and 70s. A three-bedroom home might carry a $550,000 price tag, while a brand-new, four-bedroom home in a planned development may cost close to $1 million. “It’s a more sprawling area. There’s more space between houses, and it feels more private, and more rural,” says Gina Howarth with RE/MAX 1st Choice, who has been working in the Cranston area for 20 years. “Homes there are on well water, and there’s a horse farm and some agricultural farms.”

Farms, family-owned businesses and four miles to the mall
Within the community, there’s a sense of loyalty to the local businesses and farms. “You go to the same place, probably Rossi’s Tree Farm, to get your Christmas tree every year. You’re going to go to Pippin Orchards to get your apples.” Residents who want to get their hands dirty in their own garden can visit Confreda Greenhouses and Farms, located in the town of Hope just southwest of Comstock Gardens. The family-owned business is part of one of the oldest and largest commercial vegetable farms in the state of Rhode Island. Autumn afternoons can be spent among the trees at Pippin Orchards, a 17-acre farm that grows a variety of apples, from Macintosh to red delicious. The Warwick Mall, located 4 miles south of Western Cranston includes standard department stores like Macy’s and JC Penney, as well as a Nordstrom Rack, a Target and Apple Cinemas movie theater. The Garden City shopping center, 5 miles northeast, was originally built in the 50s but has been renovated and stocked with modern outlets like Lululemon and Jos. A. Bank. Residents will have to cross Interstate 295 to get to the biggest variety of dining options. Once there, however, they can choose from the classic New England chain 99 Restaurants for continental cuisine and Rhode Island staples like lobster rolls. Campenella’s Italian Cuisine serves up the classic Italian favorites including house creations like the chicken artichoke delight pizza with chicken tenders, artichoke hearts and black olives.

Hiking to a trout-filled lake
West of Cranston, John L. Curran State Park provides hiking trails through a pine forest and access to the trout-stocked John L. Curran Upper Reservoir where visitors can launch their boats for an afternoon of fishing. During the summer, locals make the 20-minute drive to Rhode Island’s beaches for swimming and sun or travel the 9 miles east to Roger Williams Park. The park includes a zoo, a bike park, playgrounds and miles of walking trails. On the weekends, the John H Chafee Athletic & Recreation Complex fills with young athletes and their families. The Cranston League for Cranston’s Future organizes youth sports programs for everything from pickleball to basketball and manages a community center that houses meeting rooms and gymnasiums open for public rental.
